Recently, I became confident in my abilities of biking with traffic, so I've been biking to different destinations that are close to me.
I've noticed that when I encounter other bikers, they smile at me, sort of like they're saying "good on you, you're keeping fit and helping the environment!"
I like the biking community so far. Everyone shares a bond because together, we're all fighting for more bike lanes, we deal with rude drivers, we share biking tips. We unite under the oppression from the rest of society.
It's also nice to watch people get on and off busses, wait for busses, because you know that you have it better. Biking is free, you don't have to wait for busses, you keep fit, and there is never a chance where someone with bad body odour sits next to you.
So what if I'm significantly slower than busses? I'm in no rush to speed through life. I enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of merrily cruising along. I'm satisfied that I'm not feeding money into the TTC: a corporation that is occasionally rude to me when I ride their busses, paying their overpriced fares.
Yeah, I'm bitter.
